You told sushsjsuauahab that he/she is a small minority of people.
I'm sure that makes sushsjsuauahab and others who have their own (gasp) reasons not to get the vaccine feel better...
See, it's this one-size-fits-all dictum backed by sanctions that's the problem.
The vaccines help prevent sickness, but government policies hurt healthy people.
- roca 5y agoDunno about other countries but in NZ you can apply for medical exemption from vaccine mandates. A panel of medical professionals evaluates your situation and if they agree, you get a vaccine pass that works the same as for a vaccinated person.

- Jenda_ 5y agoSome countries have chosen the other way: they left the vaccination up to people, and now nobody can take part in everyday life because of lockdowns.
- throwaway55421 5y agoFalse dichotomy, lockdown is a choice. I will never lock down.
- Jenda_ 5y agothrowaway55421: …and increase the number of deaths as the healthcare collapses? Or are there other options, unknown to me?
- throwaway55421 5y agoSure. I don't mind taking a 0.5% risk to avoid 1% of my life spent in lockdown. Neither does my mother or grandmother. It is not an axiom that an increase in death rates at the population level is bad, because people are willing to put their lives at a small risk in order to preserve some semblance of meaning in them. This is a point lost on essentially every lockdown proponent as far as I can tell. They are fundamentally unwilling to accept differing value systems and seek to enforce theirs.
